Part of Devon’s culture

Dogs are an important part of life in Devon. Many of our canine friends still play a vital role in the economy of the region, particularly in the farming and leisure industries. From gundogs to sheepdogs, our best friends have been helping us work the land in Devon for centuries. That is why we understand that our guests don’t want to leave their pet behind when they come down to visit us, so we make sure your furry friends are made to feel at home with their very own bed, bowl, and some tasty treats!
